Culture

The culture kids are back. This time, we're diving into the fierce beauty and deep-rooted traditions of the Ilokano, Itawes, and Ibanag peoples of Northern Luzon. From handwoven inabel and epic tales of Biag ni Lam-ang, to ancestral rice rituals and river-centered lives, these communities have long embodied resilience, resourcefulness, and rich spiritual worlds.

In this visual journey, we blend heritage and style—fur-lined attire meets mountain dusk, with a backdrop of bahay-na-bato silhouettes and the mighty Cagayan River whispering old songs. Whether it's warriorship, weaving, or devotion, these cultures carry stories that deserve the spotlight.
